BATH

Rugged Beauties

The homeowners’ preference for raw,honest, low-maintenance materialscarried through to the 4½ baths,where stone, concrete, cinder block,and wood create the aura of a sauna.In the master bath (above), the tub ispositioned for maximum oceangazing, and the two-sided fireplace— set in a cinder-block wall — addsyear-round warmth to both bedroomand bath. Cedar walls and ceilingsgive a guest bath (right) a similarsauna-like sensibility. In all thebathrooms, cedar vanities are toppedwith stained concrete, a juxtapositionof warm and cool materials that, asin the rest of the house, providesvisual balance.
